Be careful at El Cerrito BART

For the past week and a half or so, I have seen somebody getting pulled over in the BART parking garage almost everyday. I'm paranoid every morning that I'm gonna set off somebody's alarm n get a modified exhaust ticket.. again.

I usually see the cops hiding at around 7:30 trying to catch drivers not yielding to pedestrians. I see a couple subies in the lower level so that means you get there pretty early. Don't get caught up..

...and you don't tell the FIL to **** off and mind his own, why?

Just drive the car, and if he starts asking, change the subject or don't answer.

HA! I guess they've solved the crime problem in El Cerrito/Richmond if thats what the police at the station are doing @ the BART station.

Sad part is they have a police sub station in a trailer at the edge of the station. The officers dont even need to be in their cars, they could just stand outside where they want to patrol. But hey, some public servants love to waste fuel/electricity sitting there idling , stalking to create revenue for a cash strapped city & county rather than stand like law enforcement professionals and ensure pedestrians are safe up close N personal like.

Its funny cuz it's not even BART police giving the tickets even though its in the BART parking garage, it's el cerrito cops. Probably cuz the money goes to the county instead of BART, they're already raped me plenty of times with all their fare increases!!!!!

Because I am respectuful and not an *******. And its my WIFE'S father. You get married and tell me you will tell your father in law to **** off. Come on man, How ****ing old are you?

I dont know many guys you know that would tell their father in law to **** off. I dont know any. but i can tell you one thing, if you enjoy happy time with your wife you dont do that.
